Buena Park, CA - In the wee park hours of 10 in the morning, equipped with a shared breakfast meal of sausage mcmuffin, hashbrown and orange juice.
The day's agenda consisted of riding every single "daring" ride in preparation for the Everest of all theme parks, Magic Mountain in the near distant future. My friend, Jechel, and I were lucky enough to have an approximate average waiting time of 5-10 minutes on almost every ride. Suffice to say, we certainly ticked off this theme park on our bucket list.
Hands down our TOP PICK: Supreme Scream. So yeah I enjoyed a 3-second view of Orange County before my ass left my seat and I screamed like a girl should.
If you look closely, there was a tiny bead of sweat while I was surveying the Xcelerator. It's higher than you think! Not to brag but we also rode the Boomerang, Montezooma's Revenge, Ghostrider, Jaguar and the Silver Bullet. IF WE CAN, YOU CAN TOO!
We are both suckers for cartoon characters and cutesy stuff. I decided to profess my love to Snoopy but he way too kick-ass for me with his leather jacket and sporting some awesome shades.
FACT: This girl is obsessed with Family Guy.
DOMO'S EVERYWHERE!! Raaaar!
Kicking into Samantha Brown's shoes, when you do get a chance to come to Knott's don't miss out Everyone Loves Snoopy. An ice show starring our favourite beagle, Snoopy, and his friends!
Below are some random photos in the park:

Equipped with aloud and rhythmic blasts that resemble your heart pounding back in those good old times, if you what I mean. That's how the youthful guys from Newmarket, Ontario opened their 75-minute set at the El Rey Theatre in LA. Formed in 2005, this Canadian indie rock band got their big break at the annual Pop Montreal festival.
Lining up as early as 5.30pm probably cements my pseudo-fangirl status and it came with great perks:
Second, witnessing the TPC boys sound check before the show and played Nature of the Experiment for us. Sweet!
Third, watching the Freelance Whales performing Ghosting and Gen^2 less than 10 feet away from me. They sound so much better acoustic!
Okay the Fourth, this is a little tricky since a lot of people are kicking me for being such a total spaz. So the Fourth, while watching the multi-talented Whales with their banjo, xylophone, watering can, et. al., I noticed Josh Hook & Greg Alsop watching a mere 10 steps away from where I was standing. And what did I do? Nothing. It was as if they were regular bystanders. Case closed.
Outfitted with an infectious front man, Dave Monks (who by the way has the skinniest man-legs I have ever seen!), did not disappoint with his impressive vocal range and surely “happy to be back.” It is not a TPC concert without the sound of unison clapping of fans to “Tessellate” and “Be Good”.
Keyboardist Graham Wright, probably stole the show (and the hearts of girls, especially mine) in “Citizens of Tomorrow” with his crazy tambourine playing and wicked dance footwork.Even in the far back, Greg Alsop’s presence cannot be overlooked as his drum work completes the essence of a TPC song.
I was lucky enough to be situated in close proximity of Josh Hook, TPC’s enigmatic guitarist. Josh’s intense concentration never quavered throughout the set except for the occasional tambourine playing. I swear I thought I saw a drop of sweat slowly trickling down his face in slo-mo and he still continued playing like there was no tomorrow.
It was a little after 11pm when Tokyo Police Club started their set despite that, they are one of those exceptional bands that is worth every single dollar and should mosdef seen live. The boys were nice enough to perform a new song, “Top 5”, and I knew there was no stopping them.
P.S. I have crappy photos so photo credit goes to the lovelyLiz Caruso
Answers: Purple | He's doing very well in college | I believe it was the New Radicals... I hope they make a comeback.
Taipei says hi, I'm pretty much blowing off this 3-hr layover by munching on xiao long pao (slurpy soupy goodness in a dumpling) and going back for some beef noodles. This is definitely in preparation for the long haul, 12 hours of shared fresh air. On the other hand, airline food never ever became appetizing no matter which class you are. Pork? Chicken? Beef? Fish? What do you fancy?
I'm flying alone en route to LA, it's pretty much therapeutic on my end to be by myself. Others find it daunting and scary, but fear not! As long you have the aisle seat you're pretty much the KING/QUEEN (whatever pleases you).
It's officially the first post for this blog HIP HIP HOORAY, nothing too monumental to blog for now but if you stick around you'll be in for a treat. Two amazing ladies plus yours truly will keep all of you on board with possibly anything under the sky.

p.s. Here are some Hello Kitty awesomeness at the Taipei Airport. I am envious that she has a whole gate and playground dedicated just for her cuteness.
